Angels & Outlaws,

The Columbus Theatre (270 Broadway, Providence) has established itself as the opulent arts epicenter in the capital city. Today, from 6 pm-midnight, the “Angels & Outlaws” event, curated with the Owls & Athens collective, will present “a group art exhibition [and sale] and celebration of creative culture.” They draw their inspiration from the final section of Dante’s Divine Comedy: “Stylistically, the show’s name expresses the relationship between Dante’s ‘Paradiso’ & our own lives — the close relationship between the divine in each of us & how we find ourselves working ‘outside the law’ to achieve our goals in art, business & life, as it seems society has established a ‘working order’ which doesn’t accept those seeking a different path. The title also represents the dualistic nature of Providence, always fighting with Hope, yet struggling with success. Beyond that, the concept rests on our own hopes for salvation & redemption — for the Hope that we may all love our own fates.” It’s a sprawling affair encompassing works by more than 40 artists — installation/sculpture, digital projections, prints, jewelry, and beyond — plus music by Littlefoot, Party Pigs, and the Devil Twins, and DJs Ty Jesso and Tank Jones | Free | More info and philosophical/metaphysical musings @ facebook.com/events/1409104906012738
